Fracture Care

What it is

Depending on the fracture, treatment ranges from immobilization with a cast or splint to surgical repair using plates, screws or rods that hold the bone in proper position while it heals.

What to expect

Your surgeon determines the best approach based on the location, severity and stability of the fracture.
